earwig

A modular command line digital signal processor built in rust. Ever wanted to pipe raw audio samples around in the terminal to impress your friends at a party? Well then, you've come to the right place. earwig is a collection of CLI audio processors which harness the power of stdin and stdout to send samples down the signal chain.

For example: ./choppy sample.wav | ./out

This would cut random chunks from sample.wav and pipe the samples to stdout for ./out to scoop up and output on the default audio device.

Why

Mainly because once I had the idea, I couldn't unthink it... Also I wanted to become more familiar with digital signal processing, especially in rust. And actually I think it might be a really fun music making tool.

Try it

cargo build
./target/debug/choppy | ./target/debug/out

Modules

choppy [sample_path] [sample_size_ms] Chop up some audio semi-randomly. Takes an audio file as input and continually chops it up in a semi-random way, pipes samples to stdout. Optionally takes a second arg setting the starting sample size.
out Audio output module. Slurps up samples from stdin and streams them as audible audio to the nearest output device.

Contribute

Yes please!! I don't know if two modules cam be considered a chain, so please contribute more. When doing so, bare in mind:

one module per file in src/
add a [[bin]] entry to Cargo.toml for your new module
modules should be fun.. This includes: pointless, "really??", plain noisy, "is it working?" and funky
lots of code comments please
keep on the simple side of the tracks where possible, fewer dependencies and transparent logic is prefered

Meet smoothy

I have no idea what I am doing. It felt appropriate not to change anything about that until after submitting the PR.

How do you feel about adding dependencies? Using a VecDeque rather than a fixed-size ringbuffer hurts a bit.

Slightly improve some modules

randomly sounds a lot better now, albeit still too white-noisy for my taste. Time to implement a module that adds small random values to samples rather than interpolating toward them soon.

Explore using clap
This is what clap-based modules would look like. How do you feel about giving these more verbose usage instructions in the list of modules?

I will refactor everything to use clap before merging this after we settle on a style (for the readme in particular). Right now I've taken the output of extremely --help, removed the windows-specific bits, and removed the --help option.

Compilation time hasn't been noticeably affected by deriving Parser for just a single module.

For reference, here is the output of extremely --help on my machine:

$ ../target/debug/extremely --help Linearly interpolate each sample toward +/-1 Usage: extremely.exe [T] Arguments: [T] How strongly to interpolate samples toward +/- 1 [default: 1] Options: -h, --help Print help information

Readme Format With Clap

Do you want to keep the short and informal list of modules, or should we switch to listing modules together with their module --help output after switching everything to using clap?
